I'm about to fit a secondhand ("Pre-owned"/"Pre-loved"/Recovered - call it what you will) Lifestyle motorised valve. Question is: which way round does it go? (a) so that the flow tends to close the valve flap (and the motor has to overcome the spring and the flow in order to open the valve), or (b) so that the flow tends to push the flap open, (the motor will then be assisted by the flow to open the valve).
The valve doesn't appear to have any markings or indicators as to which way round to fit it, and I can't find anything on the web about it either.
Perhaps, having read other threads about ACL Lifestyle valves, I shouldn't fit it at all, but I'd still like to know the answer!!
